My Collaboration with Whitney Freya
Grief doesn’t make sense and it eventually became clear to me that I had to find my way to live with it.
My search for more connected me with Whitney Freya. She is an artist, author, online teacher and creativity expert who has spent over 30 years teaching people to use painting and creative practice as tools for personal growth and transformation. I started with one of her 22-day painting programs, loved the process, and went on to become a Certified Creatively Fit Coach.
Her Rise Above course uses the painting process as a way to shift perspective, move beyond the inner critic and approach life differently.
Whitney and I collaborated to bring the principles of Rise Above specifically to grief.
